My Hidden Chimp: From the best-selling author of The Chimp Paradox

Product Information

I am going to carve time into my day to reflect on situations that have occurred and to evaluate which brain I engaged. I tried to strike a deal with him where I promised I would check on him every 10 minutes, this worked for two nights before he completely lost it on the third night.

A contingent said they couldn’t see The Chimp in themselves, but they could see it immediately in others. Helpful habits that can be learnt include getting over mistakes, talking through feelings and being proactive. In general, the Chimp is emotional, the Human is rational, and the Computer is habitual—it’s the command center for your unthinking habits and knee-jerk reactions. Ross Welford introduces Time Travelling with a Tortoise, the sequel to Time Travelling with a Hamster, and a whole new time travel adventure!Our team of mentors are experienced in working with students alongside parents, carers and teachers, to help them understand and manage their emotions.

Your Chimp has powerful drives like sex, dominance, territorial defense, parental behaviors, and the desire to belong to a group, all of which advance its agenda of survival and the production of offspring. In society, this drive can lead to obesity, because it’s far less likely that we won’t be able to find food again after a meal. Understanding your brain’s physiology means you can better manage your own thoughts, and reduce unnecessary drama. The concept behind My Hidden Chimp is that, if children were able to understand why they have particular emotions, they would develop better habits when dealing with them. When Joe defends himself by explaining what held him up, Tom’s Chimp switches to feeling remorse and embarrassment, but the damage to their relationship has already been done, and neither brother enjoys the rest of the evening.Personally I feel Anxiety UK offers a fantastic service which fills that much needed gap between being referred to NHS and your actual appointment time which nowadays due to Covid can be up to a year in waiting time. The book simplifies the neuroscience of the mind for children to understand and includes exercises and activities to help them think habits through and start putting them into practice.
